Former Real Madrid striker Raul has taken on his first role in senior club management after being appointed as boss of Spanish second division side Real Oviedo.
The 49-year-old, who coached Real Madrid's reserves from 2019 to 2025, has signed a contract until June 2028.
Raul replaces Julian Calero, who was sacked by Oviedo on Monday with the side ninth in Spain's second division.
"My way of understanding football is with respecting the talent [in the squad] but asking for unconditional effort," said Raul in a video on Oviedo's social media.
"The team has to fight from the first minute to the last for victory so the fans are proud of them."
Raul enjoyed an illustrious playing career, helping Real Madrid win the Champions League three times and six La Liga titles.
He scored 323 goals in 741 games for the Bernabeu side before going on to play for Germany's Schalke, Al Sadd in Qatar, and American club New York Cosmos.
On the international front, Raul managed 44 goals in 102 games for Spain.
